[HEAL Fresh FAIR Webinar] Preparing HEAL Data for Sharing and Reuse: Repository Considerations for Investigators

Data sharing decisions play an important role in data discovery, access, understanding, and reuse for secondary analysis. This session will include a panel discussion with representatives from ICPSR, SPARC, and Vivli - all HEAL approved repositories to discuss repository selection considerations, such as data types that different repositories support  and how repository structures influence data discovery, access, and long-term reuse. Speakers will highlight open versus controlled access data sharing options, how researchers find and request data for secondary analysis, and practices to improve HEAL Data Ecosystem-wide discoverability and reuse.

This session aims to support early-stage HEAL awardees, principal investigators, cycle II grant applicants, data managers, and the broader research community by emphasizing the importance of planning for data sharing early in the research lifecycle. Participants will leave with a clear understanding of how repository selection impacts data sharing and reuse, features of high quality, reusable datasets, and how early planning can improve data quality and discoverability, and support responsible secondary analysis.

The session concludes with a Q&A featuring repository representatives and HEAL Data Stewards.
